I have, in addition to making the vases, painted three paintings related to my summer project. To see the paintings scroll down. To learn more click here about the vases. http://vaseswidlerwenzel.blogspot.com/
About Me
- Diane Widler Wenzel
- The idea for COLOR BRIDGES came from many sources. Portland State College 1962,Professor Frederick Heidel's first painting assignment was to make a grid and explore mixing colors to arrange on the grid to see how they would look. Moving these painted pieces of paper on different backgrounds bring back 4 years of studying painting with Heidel. Each arrangement I have made are like his assignments. They have a goal of basics while allowing the emotions freedom. Another source was Professor Mary MacIntire at Western Washington University who was a member of Fiber Design and I had the honor of photographing for a statement about her process. She used to move around pieces of colored paper to design her fiber works.

Hello from Norway,
I just say your design is amazing.
So colorful and creative.
Hurray;-)
TorAs,
Thanks for visiting my blog. I enjoyed Norwegian design when I visited in 1994.
You certainly took on an ambitious project and your goal of getting people to think about what is precious to them, that was very commendable.
Rain,
It is a pleasre to hear people's responses so the challenge isn't so great for me. I would like to some more next year when I think a little more about what I will do with the project.
Already I have painting ideas. Workingwith the clay has given me a sensativity to ceramic character. I will look at nature now and see similarities in the sparkle of water.
